Asked By:lzkom in New York, New York

I had a asian rhinoplasty with donor rib graft back in March of 2021. 6 months ago, I noticed there is a white spot on the tip of my nose and it becomes very apparent when I smile. I talked to my surgeon about it and he said that it’s normal due to the cartilage graft. But I do not like see how the tip of my nose turns white every time I smile. I have been too embarrassed to smile these days because of it. What can I do? The tip of the nose also curves to the left side.
